When does Dollar General Corporation (DG) report earnings? Before the open in 9 of its last 9 reports

Of its last 12 earnings announcements: 9 before the open (and 3 with no time on the filing). Each one comes from the 8-K with item 2.02 that Dollar General filed with the SEC, paired with the 10-Q or 10-K for that same quarter: 60 quarters since Jun 1, 2011, and every row links to its filing.

Next date: DG does not appear in the announced-earnings calendar this site covers (Oct 21, 2026 to Nov 24, 2026). When the company announces the day it will show up here; until then there is no date, and an estimate of ours would not be one.

The last 20 quarters, one by one

"Lead": trading sessions between the announcement and the full quarterly report to the SEC (10-Q, or 10-K at fiscal year end). For Dollar General, a median of 0 sessions over the last 12 quarters, i.e. the same market day.

DG window: when it reported before the open or during market hours, from the previous close to that day's. Split-adjusted closes and EPS with its estimate, from Yahoo Finance. It already happened: it does not anticipate the next announcement.

Where each number comes from

From the 8-K with item 2.02 ("Results of Operations and Financial Condition") that Dollar General filed on EDGAR, the SEC's public database; only those with their 10-Q or 10-K behind them count, so other 8-Ks with the same item (production figures, monthly sales) stay out. The time is converted to New York time using this specific company's stamp convention (its EDGAR stamp arrives in UTC), and it is not assumed: it is derived from the hours in which EDGAR accepts filings. In 6 of this company's 60 quarters the date comes from the EDGAR acceptance day rather than the 8-K cover box, and those are flagged with an asterisk in the table.

What this data does not know

• The exact time of the press release: the 8-K reaches EDGAR minutes or hours later, so Dollar General's median 06:59 is an upper bound. The session says which one the news landed in, not what minute it was said.
• Nothing before Jun 1, 2011: it is Dollar General's oldest quarter with announcement and report paired in the file.
• What will happen. Every date on the page already happened. Dollar General reporting before the open 6 quarters in a row does not say the next one will be the same.
• Dollar General's identity is its SEC CIK (0000029534), not its symbol: symbols get recycled and renamed.
